Pieces of Beat

This is rubbish. Oh, there are individual bits I like, but I was trying to capture a moment and a feeling and it failed miserably. Even knowing what I was trying to recreate, I can't see it in here.

Whoopee.

Regarding Shape and Line

Nothing earth shattering here. Although I'd be curious as to people's reaction to this one. What they think it evokes. This is somewhat of an experiment. I've taken a specific image and generalized it in hopes of invoking some part of its impact without being literal.

Poolside Inspiration

3 days in Palm Springs does wonders. Drew this in October on what's become an annual getaway over Columbus Day weekend. Three days of a tight-knit group of friends, secluded in a rented house (for used to be a small hotel, but that's no longer available. Sad story...) with nothing to do but eat, drink, swim, and create. Heaven.

Can't say that this represents any particular piece of the backyard's landscape, but it's got elements of the foliage back there.
